Building

With the evolution of M2M and Internet of Things, building automation systems (BAS) is a fast growing segment offering advanced functionality in terms of a computerized, intelligent network of electronic devices designed to monitor and control the mechanical, electronics, and lighting systems in a building.

This core functionality keeps the building climate within a specified range, provides lighting based on an occupancy schedule, monitors system performance and device failures, and provides malfunction alarms to building engineering/maintenance staff. If implemented effectively, the BAS functionality reduces building energy and maintenance costs when compared to a non-controlled building. A building controlled by a BAS is often referred to as an intelligent building or a smart home.
